Here are some pictures. He pointed out locations on the windshield where the sealant failed to bond to the windshield. It completely lifted away from the frame with zero adhesion to the glass. He had to cut it in other locations. That has to be dangerous because the airbag presses against the windshield in a crash and if the windshield doesn't hold, the airbag doesn't deploy properly.

I'll add this - I'm not the original owner and I am not sure if someone has lifted and resealed this windshield before or if this is from the factory.


Wide view of the windshield

The windshield failed to bond at all here (smooth glue). Water was leaking in from here down into the cabin

The shield was cut away here (rough glue)

You can see the metal strip on the top of the windshield because no glue bonded here so no glue suck to cover it up when it was removed! 😬

Up close on a rough section - this is what it looks like when it is cut away - the adhesive bonded to both sides.

There was a spot with no glue at all or it wasn't sealed at all on the bottom
